Cthulhu 1st Gear October 30, 2007 Share October 30, 2007 (edited) Hi guys, I'm introducing to you guys a new Paramount Monster movie slated to be released on the 18th of January. As of now, the movie is still not named yet! It's being "marketed" on the www by the names "Cloverfield", "Slusho", "01-18-08" etc via a concept called viral marketing. It basically spreads through rumors & hypes like this one I'm creating now! Disclamer: I've nothing to do with the movie, just a movie fan! If you were one of those few who watched Transformers when it was just released, you'd be able to catch a glimpse of a nameless movie's trailer. It shows people having a farewell party in New York & then disrupted by explosions on the horizon. The next thing you hear are people sreaming & commenting things like "It's Huge", "It's Alive". Then, there's a roar & a few secs later, you see the head of the Statue of Liberty flying across the city! Then it ends with credits, with JJ Abrams being the producer (Lost, Alias etc) You can catch the trailer here... Oddly, the "official" websites to the movies are... http://www.1-18-08.com/ Note: You can flip the photos to see msgs behind http://slusho.jp/ Note: This is a jap drink website that supposedly contains hints on what the movie is about. Here are other rumor sites... http://www.1-18-08news.com/ http://1-18-08.blogspot.com http://cloverfieldclues.blogspot.com/ I think it's interesting cuz hey... it's not everyday you get to see the head of the Statue of Liberty get ripped off & thrown across New York. Pls don't flame me. I'm merely sharing my interest. I'd luv to hear your comments but pls PLEASE don't put up non-constructive discussions. Thanx for reading! rgds, Cthulhu Edited October 30, 2007 by Cthulhu ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cthulhu 1st Gear October 30, 2007 Author Share October 30, 2007 it's cool alrite! I think the last time they had a hype like this was the original GhostBuster movie... I don't know how old you are but do you remember how they marketted GhostBusters? A couple of months before the movie was revealed, they posted posters of the GhostBusters Sign. Nobody knew what the silly sign meant until they revealed the movie... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cthulhu 1st Gear October 30, 2007 Author Share October 30, 2007 It definitely not a Zilla movie... JJ Abrams said in a convention: "And I thought, we need out own monster, like we need a monster movie And I thought not like King Kong. I love King Kong. King Kong is adorable. And Godzilla is a charming monster. We love Godzilla But I wanted something that was just insane, and intense." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
